Team: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 15, 2022

Published: Jul. 15, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Contracts:

Miller takes a slight discount in exchange for the term he wants. I know giving an eight year contract to a 30 year-old is risky, but the whole point here is to contend for the next 3-4 years, and this allows us to do that.

Bo gets a well-deserved raise, Hog gets a prove-it contract, Dermot will hopefully have solidified himself as a dependable third-pairing guy who can play up if needed.

I'm kind of guessing on Kuzmenko. Let's he he scores 30-50 points, which seems realistic, this would the AAV for a bridge contract.

Trades:

With Schenn gone (and I don't think resigning him makes a ton of sense), we need a new partner for Hughes. It doesn't have to be Marino, but this is the type of trade I see us making.

We have to move some money out to make all this work, and unless Poolman surprises everyone this season, he's the most expendable contract. Myers is more expensive, but he's also the better player and has an NTC.
